Auto open/close frunk system

would this work with "close all" commands? either from fob or in car app?

 

[Daisame]

Very cool.

I’d really like to see an install video!

There’s one for the Model 3

If I understand correctly, the only downside is, for this to work, is that your Tesla is spoofed Into thinking the frunk is closed all the time. So it sends the signal to open either way, and the onscreen display will always show it closed. The controller box for this kit keeps track of the open or closed state.

From the video posted, that does not appear to be the case. The on-screen display showed it open and closed.

It is pretty pricey at $500. I think I will stick with the manual close. I only keep charging adapters and stuff I rarely touch in the frunk anyway.

Id love to know this too.

But I also rarely touch the frunk like Daiseme said

You can alway just do auto open.

Anyone install this on their MX? I’d love to make the drunk more user friendly.

Freudian Slip?

I ordered the auto open/close a week ago, I’ll let you know as soon as I get it and how the install goes. I will be removing the auto open only kit (struts,spring) that’s about two months old if you want that let me know.

Freudian Slip?

Ha! Sadly not. It’d be a lot less coherent in that case.

I’m pretty handy but this installation seems pretty involved. Is there any way I can pay someone to install this for me? in Atlanta

 

[vangogh]

Anyone know an installer near San Jose Ca?

It wasn’t too bad. I would say the worst part was accessing the switch in the Frunk compartment. The two torx screws that you need to get to suck because there is little room. I ended up making my own right angle driver by using just the torx bit in a 1/4 speed Ratchet. Besides that just bundling up the wires nice because they are long. That was really the worst two parts. Took about 3 hrs total.
